Power Rankings: Statistical stars and fantasy standouts for every team

Like you, we're fantasy hockey freaks. So for this week's Power Rankings, we decided to honor some of the statistical stars and fantasy standouts for each of the NHL's 31 teams.

How we rank: We use a panel of voters, and these rankings reflect which teams voters think would win head-to-head matchups. Higher-ranked teams are favored over lower-ranked teams. A run of wins doesn't guarantee a jump, and a couple of losses don't guarantee a fall.

Jonathan Marchessault was ranked in the 200s before the season. After 16 goals and 25 assists, he's now a top-30 forward with center- and right-wing eligibility.

Our voters dig the Wild, and fantasy owners have dug Mikael Granlund in the past month, when he had six goals and nine assists for a plus-5. Oh, and he has that wonderful center- and right-wing eligibility.

While fans panic about recent results, defenseman Morgan Rielly has put together a nice 30 days: one goal and nine assists, with four of those points on the power play. His 36 shots were second on the team during that stretch.

We weren't sure what to make of Tampa Bay's summer moves during the preseason. Now? It looks like another brilliant set of transactions by GM Steve Yzerman, Julien BriseBois & Co. Here's how every team's offseason acquisitions look now.

Sometimes it's a hat. Sometimes it's a jacket. Other times, it's a fighter pilot helmet, like the Jets have used. Which is to say that these things can get weird. Here are 10 of the most unique awards in use this season.

Mathew Barzal gets all the headlines (and rightfully so), but hopefully some fantasy owners have hopped on the Jordan Eberle train. In the past 30 days, Barzal's winger has one goal and 12 assists along with nine PIMs. (And in some leagues, he has center eligibility, which is nutty.)
